One of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's most infamous quotes was something she said during a 20-minute speech to the National Association of Counties' 2010 legislative conference. Congress was considering the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the endless, breathless coverage of the contentious process, Pelosi explained, was preventing people from appreciating the significance of its contents.

"We have to pass the bill," she said, "so that you can find out what is in it — away from the fog of the controversy."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pressing GOP leaders to delay votes on their ObamaCare replacement legislation until its budget and coverage impacts can be analyzed.

Republicans unveiled a pair of proposals Monday evening, with plans to mark them up Wednesday in both the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees — a window that excludes hearings and likely won't allow the time for the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to examine its costs beforehand.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday blasted House Republicans' plan to replace Obamacare that they rolled out Monday evening.

"Just when you've seen it all, the Republicans go to a more extreme place. This will make millions of people -- it's a question of 10, 15, 20 million people off of having health insurance. It will be the biggest transfer of wealth from low-middle income people to wealthy people in our country," the California Democrat said in an interview on "CBS This Morning."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday slammed Republicans calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from investigations into Russia, saying that's not nearly enough.

"We are far past recusal. Jeff #Sessions lied under oath. Anything less than resignation or removal from office is unacceptable," Pelosi tweeted.

Pelosi first called for Sessions to resign late Wednesday, shortly after reports that Sessions met with Russia's U.S. ambassador twice during last year's campaign.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says the Department of Justice must probe reports that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus asked the FBI to push back on media coverage linking figures from President Trump's campaign to Russian intelligence.

Reports emerged Thursday the FBI rejected a White House request to dismiss news stories about staffers from Trump's campaign repeatedly contacting Russian intelligence agents.

Former Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky, a senior Democrat best known for putting the Affordable Care Act into effect in a deeply conservative state, will give his party's response to President Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday, Democratic congressional leaders announced on Friday.

In selecting Mr. Beshear, 72, Democrats opted to elevate an elder statesman from the belt of heartland states that Mr. Trump won handily, rather than highlighting one of the party's newer faces or a potential challenger to Mr. Trump in 2020.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is meeting with advocates in San Francisco to hear their concerns about the president's recent orders targeting immigrants and refugees.

The San Francisco Democrat told more than a dozen people gathered at a federal building that immigrants who come to the United States with their courage and dreams make "America more American."

She said the country has some challenges now.

Something caught our eye in a just-released photo from the exclusive annual Grammys-eve party thrown by Sony Music Chief Creative Officer Clive Davis. Among the A-plus-level musical stars (Neil Diamond, Jennifer Hudson, Bell Biv DeVoe and Chance the Rapper), right next to Mary J. Blige, is House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.).

Although Pelosi was the only non-musician in the photo, she sorta looked the part — Pelosi and Blige are striking mirrored hand-on-hip poses.
